“The Sims 3” is a great game, I’ve been a fan of The Sims since the very beginning when it was released in 2000, it became a smash hit that went on to occupy top spots on computer-game best-seller lists for years to come, along with a good number of expansion packs and its in-depth sequel, The Sims 2.
A few days ago The Sims 3 was released officially , there was so much waiting for this third chapter, and now I understand why?
I’ve bought the The Sims 3 Collector’s Edition through Amazon ,since eastore website in my country is still showing Sims2 stuff and there is no sign of Sims 3.
I have been playing it constantly at least 4 hours a day and I can tell you that it is great, nothing to do with The Sims 2 .Unlike the transition between the original and sequel, Sims 3 is not offering upgraded graphics. Instead of utilizing the latest DirectX 10 graphics, EA decided to take the game in a whole new direction and allow players to move their Sim from lot to lot, all with virtually no load time.
I’m not a benchmark expert,but what I know is that an un-hindered copy of Sims 2 (no mods, no expansions) and an un-hindered copy of Sims 3 have about the same initial load speed. The load speeds between lots is fairly fast.
Coming to Mods the modding community, has found ways to hack into the game and change the gameplay. Thank you modders!
I will provide you a list or links of 10 Best Mods that I’m using which are working perfectly,before that you have to follow below 3 steps to apply any Mod.
Update:
If you are using Sims 3 Ambitions EP or latest patches 1.12/2.7/3.3, then check this post to install or activate mods in your game.
Step 1
Download βResource.cfgβ (1 KB)file from below link
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=690a5617
or
http://qshare.com/get/854978/Resource.rar.html
Step 2
Now Place the βResource.cfgβ file
For Windows Users:::
Default location is β C:Program FilesElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3
If you use 64Bit OS β C:Program Files (x86)Electronic ArtsThe Sims 3
Note: If you installed the game in other drive,then change the βC:β path according to the drive you install the game.
For Mac Users:::
1. Go to your Sims 3 application βThe Sims 3.appβ
2. Right-Click (or Control-click) on it and select βShow Package Contentsβ
3. Navigate through Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3
4. Paste the βResource.cfgβ file into this folder.
Step 3
Create the Mods folder:
1.Go to βThe Sims 3″ root folder, create a new folder called βModsβ
2. Now in Mods folder create another folder called βPackagesβ
If you have done everything correctly then it should look like below example
eg: E:Program FilesElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3Modspackages
Here after in this βPackagesβ folder you have to place Mods/Custom Contents which will have “.package” extension.

@SupeRThinh
Ya, It is still in development,but you can try a new (different) mod in Sexysims2
Mmm, ok. I will, thanks for typing this up. Helped me heaps.
Thanks! This helped alot!
Can sims 2 mods work with sims 3?Β JustΒ the sim?Β like say i want to install zelda and link but theyre v2, can i install them on sims 3 and have it work?
cheers
NO,Sims 3 files are different from sims 2. so only sims 3 mods or sims work in SIMS 3
Is there a tool to convert my fav. sims 2 toons to something usable in sims 3? do they need to all be remade?
Β
thx for your reply
As i said before sims 3 files are different from sims 2.so there is no tool for converting and yes all mods to be remade. some modders are trying to bring simlar sims2 mods to sims 3.
I suggest you to frequently check out modthesims.info site.
the links are not available anymore
@mee:
Thanks for notifying me about links ,all links are updated and are working well
I went through all the steps of creating the mod and packages folders. When I then attempted to save the “no jealousy” file to the packages folder, I got a message saying “You don’t have permission to save to this location. Contact the administrator to obtain permission.” Well, it’s my PC, and I am the only admin on it. What do I need to do now?
@Cassandra
could you provide me screen sh0ts of your mods and package folder,also give your system details
Thanks for the links~!! xD
Don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but the megaupload link for the ‘No Mosaic” and “No Repoman” are one and the same.Β

@Anon: Thanks for your info, all links are updated.
the resource.cfg isn’t downloading, I’m just left sitting at this page telling me “your traffic will be reset in 60 minutes” or something. I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean… I’ve been there for well over 60 minutes now and nothing… is there anywhere else I can get the file? (ps: would me being on a mac have any complications with this?)
I just updated with alternate mediafire link,my suggestion is to use TS3 Install Helper Monkey which will create resource.cfg and mods folder.then you don’t need these manual steps
Are there any side effects that come with this? Like will it slow my game down and make certain actions unavailable?
@nicole
yes,there will be some (minute) side effects,like slow loading.
Your information is slightly wrong. The inteen mods and the teen woohoo mods work not just from lying on the bed position but over all. you should update your info. I have both mods and they work great in my game without any issues.
@JUMBO: ya,i agree with you,this post was published when both mods were in development,especially teen woohoo mod.I will update the post and thanks for sharing your experience with mods
Nicole said:

Β
Yes, there are side effects, like your Mac not being to run the Sims3 program any longer. You may have to reinstall the game from your CD. I have found that removing the resource.cfg file from the root directory allows the program to run again, but none of the mods are recognized, so you are back to square one. If someone figures out how to fix this for Mac users, I hope that person will post instructions.
The mods aren’t working for me. I done something wrong,will someone please explain,I’m not good with all this LOL. Please and Thank You π

are hair from mod the sims 3 all package files
I’ve got a problem, I installed the install monkey helper, I disabled my UAC (or at least selected “never notify me”, I’m using windows 7) my install monkey helper does copy the .package files to the folder specified (/the sims 3/Mods/Packages), but somehow, when I launch the game, nothing seems to show up on download.
What’s wrong? :S
do you installed EP’s like Ambition’s?
Hi! Thanks for the info, helped me big time!
But the links are not working anymore.. could you upload them?
Thank youuuu π
I don’t get it :S
You said to put resource.cfg in C: programfiles…
I don’t get why you put the recourse file in c and mods folder in E: program files… Don’t you put them both in C >.<?
I'm on a Laptop and I don't have an E: File :S
I've been using cc Transferred over the exchange and it's all gone to DOCUMENTSeats3dcbackup as PACKAGE files
So yeh, I think my question is isnt the sims 3 root folder in C drive and you make the mods folder there?
Thanks if you reply, I'm bad at this stuff but would love if you can help π
hey, I installed Sims 3 in ‘E’ drive, so you have to install mods in the installed directory.
Also If you are using latest EP Ambitions or Late Night, the mods installation procedure has changed.
